 It appears that a new blood pressure monitor made by Huawei has received medical clearance in China. The anticipated smartwatch will be the replacement for the 2021-released Watch D. Additionally, additional features of the wearable are disclosed by an entry in the IMDA database using the same model numbers.




It looks like China has granted medical certification to the Huawei Watch D2. There have long been rumors about this wearable, which is thought to be the Watch D's replacement, which debuted in 2021. A screenshot from the National Medical Products Administration database connected to this device has now been uploaded on Weibo by user @UncleKanshan. 




Model numbers LCA-B10, LCA-B11, and LCA-B12 for a Huawei blood pressure measuring device are noted here, which could be the Huawei Watch D2. The database record also discloses that, similar to the Watch D, this smartwatch features an integrated airbag in the bracelet, akin to a cuff. Additionally, it states that the wearable may measure pulse rate, diastolic blood pressure, and systolic blood pressure "at a single time or at different time periods set within 24 hours."




The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) database in Singapore also has a watch with these model numbers. It is listed as a “Sports Activity Tracker” and has features like Bluetooth and a notification display. The pricing and release date of the Huawei Watch D2 wearable are still unknown, but the older Huawei Watch D, which retails for €339.99, gives an idea of what the smartwatch might cost should it make its way to Europe.




Huawei Unveils New Blood Pressure Smartwatch, Secures Medical Device Certification


 

On Wednesday, Telegram said that it is expanding the revenue streams available to content creators on its network. Most significantly, the network is introducing paid monthly subscriptions that users may buy using Stars, the app's virtual currency, to access additional content created by creators.


Now, users can join a channel in return for a monthly Star payment using invite links created by content providers. The purpose of the function is to give content creators the ability to monetize their work in a manner akin to Patreon by charging for additional or early access.




In addition to being able to choose the price for their work, creators can exchange Stars for subsidized advertisements or the cryptocurrency Toncoin. The amount of the commission that Telegram receives from Stars-related transactions is unknown.Star Reactions, another feature that Telegram is introducing, lets users give their preferred content creators direct support. Star Reactions is comparable to the "Super Thanks" function on YouTube and the Tips option on X. With the Reactions function, creators receive all of the Stars that are awarded to them.




The new functionalities expand on Telegram's ongoing initiatives to make the platform more profitable for creators. Telegram introduced ad income sharing with creators a few months ago, and this month the business began allowing producers to post paid content to their channels. With 950 million active users as of last month, Telegram hopes to surpass one billion users this year. This news coincides with that goal. Founder of Telegram Pavel Durov stated earlier this year that the business plans to turn a profit the next year and is thinking about going public.


Telegram Unveils New Monetization Tools for Creators to Boost Earnings

 



An existing tool that OpenAI developed and tested can identify whether any written content was produced with ChatGPT. The Wall Street Journal claims that the tool's company is delaying its public release due to multiple concerns.




By adding a pattern to the large language model's (LLM) writing style, the tool enables OpenAI to discern whether or not ChatGPT generated the output. But the pattern is still invisible to humans, therefore it has no effect on the quality of the LLM. Although OpenAI has not yet released the program, internal documentation claims that it is 99.9% successful in identifying ChatGPT's output. 


While text watermarking is a very useful tool for identifying ChatGPT-authored information, it is incompatible with output from other LLMs, such as Llama 3 or Gemini AI. Moreover, it is simple to go around this tactic. To effectively remove the watermark, you can, for instance, paste ChatGPT's output into Google Translate, convert it to another language, and then return it to English.





The detection tool can be fooled by simply instructing the AI to insert a special character, emoticon, or brief phrase between words, which can then be deleted later (using Microsoft Word's Find and Replace function, for example) or by asking another LLM to completely reword the output.


Another issue that OpenAI has with the tool's release is that it claims it might be biased against writers who are not native English speakers. A generative AI text identification tool was first made available by the business last year. However, because to its poor detection rate and tendency to produce false positives, OpenAI terminated it after just seven months. It has even gone so far as to cause a professor to fail a whole class since all of the papers that were turned in were mistakenly labeled as being created by artificial intelligence.





Additionally, OpenAI takes into account its clientele; according to consumer surveys, 69% of ChatGPT users think that the tool will lead to unfounded allegations of AI cheating. If OpenAI used the technology, 30% of respondents even stated they would probably move to a competitor LLM. Another problem the firm is experiencing with the widespread use of the ChatGPT detector is that other users could be able to reverse engineer OpenAI's watermarking method and create an app or plug-in that would neutralize it. 




Nevertheless, OpenAI has been investigating alternatives to the text watermarking method since it recognizes the risk that artificial intelligence (AI)-generated content poses to society. Additionally, there is a need for an AI detector; according to internal statistics, 80% of respondents worldwide are in favor of its development.
